This:

If your phone is new, or not at the current ZVC, update it to ZVC before rooting!

UPDATING TO ZVB and ZVC - Walkthru style:

To do the ota. (I left mine ROOTED, FreeGee installed and NOT installed, usb debugging was on, unknown sources was checked, and totally stock)

1. Accept the update.

2.Click image for larger version Name: ZVB Update message.jpg Views: 2429 Size: 29.0 KB ID: 1829651

2a If FreeGee is installed, run Freegee "Restore"

3. Settings>System Updates>Update Profile, then Update LG Software,

4. Root with fiddy619 Universal

5. Done

__________________________________________________ ______________

ZVC will allow you to update through TWRP now. You will lose root and unlock and will have to re-root, re-unlock again. You also need a mostly stock ROM

Accept the ZVC update, and your phone will reboot you into TWRP and apply the update.

__________________________________________________ ______________

If you just need/want to update via ZV9 to ZVB/JB and ZVB to ZVC through the update.zip.

You must have a completely stock ZV9 or ZVB. Totally stock.

1. Root with fiddy619 Universal root, above

2. Download the update. ZVB - http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390362690511176846

-------ZVC - http://androidfiles.org/~shabby/?dev...lder=Stock-ZVC and, http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23134718111254106 and here, http://www.sendspace.com/file/dz3luw

3. Move it to /cache. To do this, you'll need to have root if you use Root Explorer, Estrong, etc

3a. Optional. See 6a

4. Turn phone off

5. Reboot to stock recovery. vol down+power til the 3 lights at the bottom come on, and immediatly let go of the buttons. (Lg logo will come on first, then the bottom lights. It might take a fews tries. Also theres a delay to get stock recovery to come up.

6a. An easier way to get to stock recovery is to install quickboot from the Playstore

7. Install the update from /cache

8. reboot

9. Run fiddy619 Universal Root.

You got root for ZVB/JB!

You're still on ZVB, Right? And still trying to update, because the one you tried didn't work for you.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] samsungepicgeek:
Thanks, ya im still on ZVB.
[G2 General] Univsoldur:
I know a few have rooted using kingo and the other method for the att and verizon phones but has anyone with this phone installed a recovery.
[G2 General] leroybrute:
Yes, I have twrp installed. I used iorootv11 to root.
[G2 General] ericdabbs:
There is a version 11 out of ioroot that supports sprint version? Do you have a link to it?

EDIT: I went to the IRC to find the ioroot11.zip link which is http://downloads.codefi.re/shelnutt2/g2/spr. This link kinda proves it is made for Sprint.

EDIT2: I ran this ioroot_v11 and can confirm it works for the Sprint LS980 variant.
[G2 General] Univsoldur:
Where did u find twrp
[G2 General] leroybrute:
LoL! Thanks for confirmation.

PS. You can use flashify in the market to flash twrp, If you would like to download and flash from phone.
[G2 General] ericdabbs:
I would recommend flashing TWRP through WACOMalt's method in his XDA thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2449670

WACOMalt also has a tutorial video to install TWRP to demonstrate his method

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZSjL6FCyxA

The way the TWRP website tells you to install it is slightly different by typing a different command with adb shell or terminal emulator

su

dd if=/sdcard/recoveryfilename.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/<by-name>/recovery

.

Personally I am more used to flashing a recovery image using the tutorial video method and would recommend the tutorial video version since it is simpler to install.
[G2 General] leroybrute:
Flashify works fine. Used it on my Vs980 and my Ls980. Don't have an issue using terminal emulator, use it once in a while. Flashify is quicker and simpler. Each to their own.

Please help me, i have a galaxy note gt-n7000. I have some memory problems and thought rooting could help me to fix it. I just found a procedure but i think the file i download was not the proper. Now, the cel doesn´t turn on because has a yellow triangle, and even doesn´t charge. It appears an "O" inside a pic battery, like it just begun to charge, but inmediately dissapear and the screen do something like lighting or something like that. The outlet charger doesn´t get hot, so it is not charging. I cannot download anything because it say the battery is too low. Oh God.... can anybody help me pls. A will appreciate a lot. Now is the moment i say why i do that.... :(

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomekx93:
Hi. There is my problem

4 days ago i get sgs2 after JITAG.

Now it's in boot loop. I tried almost everything.

So. It's like that :

- phone is in boot loop.

-can't access recovery

- can get to DL

- Odin flash every rom and kernel tried on v1.85 and v3.07. Always succeed. But nothing happens.

When i woke up s2 was hot and off. I Turn it on and battery percentage was 10% ( before sleep it was ~85%) . I plug it to AC.

That was first symptomps . Next tried to install game from market when it installed i tried to play but phone restarted then pop up window that inform me about updating apps ( it was 4 apps) and after update i can't do anything. Phone froze. I take out battery and put it on. Turn on s2 and from this point i have boot loop i can't go to recovery only dl works.

Before JITAG there was nand rw corruption. Can it be the same this time ? What u propose ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jeetu:
Did you download the stock firmware from sammobile.com ? And after falshing rom via Odin go to recovery and do Wipe Data/ Factory Reset and Wipe Cache then Reboot. :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomekx93:
Tried this. But still can't go to recovery mode.

So Wipe isn't possible for now.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Search for Hopper8's 'Odin troubleshooting' thread, there's a link to a 3 part firmware in that thread. Download the firmware (assuming you have an I9100; if you don't, do not download this firmware/flash it. You'll brick your phone if you do), flash it with Odin, which will wipe your phone. Hopefully the wipe will remove whatever remnants of what you had on the phone previously which are probably causing bootloop.

Edit - However, given the 'background' to this issue (the JTAG/etc), don't be surprised if you end up needing a motherboard replacement. Cross your fingers the 3 part firmware does the trick though.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomekx93:
Tried 3 part firmware. And still the same. DL but no recovery.

So all hope gone ? Only option for me is replacement or another JTAG ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
If it were me, I'd keep trying different single part firmwares and the 3 part firmware over & over. Given a JTAG didn't fix it the first time around, you'll probably find a JTAG won't work this time either. Motherboard replacement most likely scenario as per my PP.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] net200777:
I maxed out my 2.5gb hotspot and now it's throttling bad on my phone!

I am running darthstalker v4. On lte it goes to 35-30 then bounces down to 10 then down to 3. On reg 4g I'm getting 8mbs sometimes then .75 This is on the normal tower apn settings. Of course T mobile says they don't see any type of throttling. I've cleared cache on everything. WTF IS GOING ON
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] decalex:
Why not go to my.t-mobile.com and check out your usage?

You can always bump up the service if you need to.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] net200777:
I have unlimited data
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Gr8Danes:
Move to the 4.5 GB plan temporarily? It's unthrottled
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Han Solo 1:
Doesn't a hotspot app like Foxfi mask tethering usage anyway?

Why not just use that and not get throttled at all?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] nba1341:
Don't use default tethering that connects to t-mobile. You will probably need root for other options
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markp99:
Anyone finding success with Tasker getting GPS control working on their Nexus 5 (Android 4.4)?

Tasker v4.1

Rooted

Secure Settings Pro/Helper

Example:

Profile>Application "GoogleMaps">New Task ("GPS On")>Plugin>SecureSettings>Edit>HelperActions>GPS>On>Save

ExitTask same as above but GPS>Off

When I launch GoogleMaps I can see Tasker working, but from within Tasker I see an error: "An error occurred while executing Action:GPS"

Any suggestions? Related to "Location Mode" setting approach with "High Accuracy", "Battery Saving", "Device Only" options?

Thanks!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aecant:
I solved this problem using Helper Alternative in Secure Settings (last option of Helper tab in Secure Settings)

Now with "gps on" action you switch from battery saving mode to high accuracy, and vice versa vith "gps off".

You can also use the action to enable/disable the entire location service but in that case every time you want it on it shows an annoying google location consent disclaimer
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chimas16:
Where is the option for battery saving mode or high accuaricy? I set it up only for Location services and the google location consent appear.

Also, is it possible to set it off in another way? because if I click in Tasks button in my phone, it suddenly turns gps off although Maps keeps running in the background
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aecant:
you can switch between battery saving mode and high accuracy toggling the gps option:

gps on -> high accuracy

gps off -> battery saving mode

I use a workaround, I have set tasker to wait 20 seconds before disabling gps when i close apps that need location services, so when I switch to another app it doesn't turn off gps immediatly. I don't know other methods to make tasker consider that the app is running in the background
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p4ranoid4ndroid:
How do you set tasked to time out after certain time? I keep trying but it just stays on high accuracy
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aecant:
i set a "wait" action before disabling gps
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p4ranoid4ndroid:
How do you set a wait action? Create another task?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aecant:
no, you add an action, just hit the plus button>task>wait and set the amount of time you desire
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lmuggeridge:
GPS or locational services turning on solution

I created this tasker for if my phone got lost, but could be used for the Google Maps apps or Photo geotagging. This is for phones that are locked and require the google consent notice to be accepted.

Profile: recieved text "lostphone"

Task:

Secure settings: pattern lock disabled

Secure settings: wake phone

WIFI on

Mobile Data on

Secure settings: Location Services Enabled

Wait: 2 seconds

Dpad: Right repeat x2 (this is because the first time it doesn't work)

Dpad: Press repeat x1

Wait: 2 seconds

Secure settings: Pattern lock enabled

Secure settings: lock device

this makes the phone vulnerable but it only takes seconds for the phone to relock itself

Hi,

I just installed tasker app on my Galaxy S7 Edge.

I tried to create a task to switch on GPS when running Pokemon App and then switch off once app is closed.

Task:

1. Launch App

App Pokemon Go Data %LOC

I run the task, as expected, it opens pokemon go app and 4G(gps) icon appears on the upper-left corner of my phone. But the icon won't disappear when I manually turn off the Location on Quick Settings.

Please help how to restore Location icon on-off.

Thank you

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] gpo1956:
I very stupidly wiped my phone after changing from TWRP to CWM and had a problem. Now I've got no rom and my nandroids are all on twrp. I've tried installing adb to revert back to stock, but I can't get the adb exe. file to show, so I can't get into adb. I've tried everything and one all kinds of searches on how to get the exe file but no luck. Can anyone show me a link to how to get out of this predicament?

You should go back to stock and wipe everything off your sd card. Then try to root your phone again.

That's the problem. I can't get adb so Icant get back to ANY rom.

Try booting to the boot loader and try to factory reset and see if that works.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] jjbk:
So loving my note 3. I haven't rooted it yet or anything. As I want to see how the stock rom is for a month or so.

Something has been bugging me ever since I have started caring about my privacy and security. as every App I want to install wants to read my call log, control SMS's record conversations ect. when the app doesn't need to. for instance my favorite radio station. Thinks it needs the permission to know who I've called! What the hell for?

It's the reason I've begin to fall in love with Paranoid android ROM. I had it on my note 2. granted I couldn't use the S-pen at all as it didn't use touchwiz. but I found the ability to edit each apps security settings. worth the sacrifice!. (if anyone reads this. is there a way to put that into any ROM? the permissions editor?) I'd love to install it. but onto the pressing issue.

Samsung includes this magical service with the note 3 called Knox. now it's supposed to give you enterprise security.

When all it does. is constantly give me notifications that it's stopped certain programs from running.

when this morning I clicked the right button which too me to the permissions that Knox gets here they are

read phone status and identity

read, edit SMS's

full network access, ability to change network conns

retrieve running apps

prevent phone from sleeping

directly call phone numbers

Take pictures and video

Record audio

approximate location. Pinpoint location

Modify call contacts. read call log

add read or modify calendar events

read all web history, bookmarks ect

Modify or delete usb storage

Disable screen security

complete account control

Read dictionary terms

pair with any bluetooth

there is also lots of other non essential stuff. This is Freaking Alarming at the minimum. if no one is worried about this then its very sad! This screams NSA back door!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] BarryH_GEG:
I know a couple of CIO's that are wetting themselves over KNOX and they (and the DOD, CIA, and NSA for internal use) are the primary audiences. I'd like to assume that people in charge of protecting corporate data are smart enough to investigate the tools they are using to do that pretty thoroughly. My assumption is that the boatload of permissions KNOX requires are all tied to administering, monitoring, protecting, archiving, and deleting data off of devices being policed with MDM. Based on Huawei and Lenovo being cut out of acquisition opportunities and lucrative Western networking contracts because of their ties to the Chinese and "spying" I'd say the quickest way for Samsung to put themselves out of business and take Korea with them is to do what you're suggesting.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Andrewtst:
The KNOX is truly crap!

I had disable all KNOX after ROOT.

Samsung doing this KNOX thingy is full to crap! extremely useless!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] jeromepearce:
You can do this now with an unrooted Note 3. It's a sort of hidden feature of Android 4.3, but you just need access to an 'activity' called App Ops. There is a handy app in the Play store that creates this link for you:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appaholics.applauncher
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Skander1998:
Knox is also a device administrator and to work correctly it needs pretty much all permissions.

That's normal.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] jjbk:
Thanks. I got it. and started using it :) can't wait till paranoid brings out a good ROM. or something with full S pen funtionality. and then just install this on :) Thanks Once again
[Galaxy Note 3 General] weedahoe:
All this knox talk is funny. What are you really scared of?

NSA? No problem unless you're trying to hide something you should not be doing. If they want to see my search history or see my pics and read my emails, then go for it.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Hammer_drum:
I just simply rooted and removed Knox, lots written about it - the secret agenda is nonsense.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] foxmeister:
Of course Knox needs all these permissions - it is, essentially, a virtualised phone OS within a real phone OS.

Without those permissions, it simply wouldn't work!

Dave
[Galaxy Note 3 General] daraj:
There is always this conspiracy theory :laugh:

Ppl need to cool down and chill.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] BarryH_GEG:
There's no question KNOX is a nightmare for enthusiasts. But enthusiasts make up 5% of the market. XDA being the biggest enthusiast site on the web has 5M members; Samsung will sell 250M smart devices this year. The corporate market is probably 25-30% of annual smartphone sales. That's who KNOX is for and so far it's been extremely well received. I know of one company that's issued a mandate that all employees must use Samsung phones equipped with KNOX whether supplied by the company or via BYOD. If that happens enough Samsung's hit a home run with KNOX even if all 5M XDA members buy other phones. KNOX has been so successful LG's doing something similar.

http://www.engadget.com/2013/10/01/lg-gate-enterprise-security/

So ladies and gentlemen, KNOX and its ilk are here to stay.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] jonlewi5:
Your mentality sucks. Surely i can expect some kind of privacy on a personal device. Wether im doing something i shouldnt be or not.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] toker_X1:
BarryH_GEG - is completely right its aimed at Corp users and its very useful. - those that slag it off has no idea what it is and what its used for.

KNOX - is Samsung's version SELinux, since its now standard in Linux Kernel, all variations of Linux will have this feature and Andriod is an variation of Linux.

So if you dont like SELinux you better switch from Andriod smartphones as this will be standard soon no matter which OEM you choose.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] klau1:
Putting KNOX aside, I want to understand your perspective on privacy.

Here's my perspective:

I have nothing to hide nor am I working in politics.

But with this backdoor technology, it IS a serious concern for journalists and honest politicians running against the current corrupted elite establishment.

Who (in the sex obsessed American public eye) will take their cause seriously after the establishment (with the help of NSA DB) releases a phone-sex tape or pictures of drunken high school pics?

Who's to be the honest watchdog of the establishment if all journalists can be blackmailed with their personal info before they release their reports of establishment corruption?

This is not about something to HIDE.

It's about freedom and democracy.

Do you want your children to inherent a world where they can MAKE A DIFFERENCE or one where THEY CAN NOT??:confused:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] perosredo:
You do know that Samsung is a Korean company - and a strongly nationalist one to the extent of a General Electric or. General Motors - right?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] klau1:
What does that have to do with whether it will comply with the laws in the country it wants to do business in?

Google a US COMPANY had to comply and censor results in many countries at the request of the foreign gov.

Twitter had to censor the posts of Arab Spring supporters at the request of their govs

BlackBerry a CANADIAN COMPANY had been pressured into releasing encryption keys to the Indian gov to spy on comms.

Samsung wants to do business in your country, does it not?:confused:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Amdathlonuk:
Agreed........... I deliberately take regular photos of my untrimmed white bits just for them.... :laugh:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] weedahoe:
You better get off the internet now and any social site you might have ever been on. Lots of engines index everything you put out there so even though you think you delete it, its still there......somewhere
[Galaxy Note 3 General] BarryH_GEG:
Anyone here's perspective on privacy really doesn't belong on XDA. It's one thing to talk about the impact of KNOX on device development, how to use (or not use) its functionality, and what its impact is to privacy and another to have general privacy discussions that belong on Reddit.

OP's question was asked and answered. KNOX's sweeping permissions are required for it to function. If people feel that KNOX could impact their privacy disable it or send Samsung a message by not buying their products. Just like Samsung's reaction to the negative coverage of Region Lock was to ignore it you can pretty much assume that'll be their position on KNOX too. I use KNOX so if there's some sort of nefarious activity it performs or my data gets compromised I'll report back. That's assuming I'm not captured by the CIA and renditioned to a foreign country and water boarded. ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] foxmeister:
What backdoor technology? KNOX?

Unless you are running your own version of a mobile OS, compiled from source and having reviewed all the code to remove any backdoors, you are potentially vulnerable to all sorts of backdoors that Google, Samsung, HTC, Microsoft, Apple, or any other company may have inserted the ROM build you are running. KNOX changes none of this.

Privacy is an illusion, and always has been!

Dave
[Galaxy Note 3 General] jonlewi5:
The difference being i can control what i put on the internet. Its my choice if i upload something to a social site. Hence my point of expecting some kind of privacy on a personal device.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] weedahoe:
You dont have to upload or post anything. Just where you go and what you look at is more than enough to build a personality profile on you. Habits, interests, desires, ect
[Galaxy Note 3 General] hayabusa1300cc:
There's plenty of official documentation that Samsung work very closely with NSA who developed Knox.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] BarryH_GEG:
As customers for Samsung Android products; not as a means of allowing backdoor access to U.S. citizens data. Seeing BB fall apart Samsung saw an opportunity in the "ultra secure" B2B market and worked with the DOD and NSA on a BB alternative (KNOX). Does anyone here think Samsung devices with or without KNOX are any easier than other mobile devices for the NSA to harvest data from if they so choose? In the trove of Snowden data released no company (so far) has been shown to be complicant with the U.S. government. Everything the government received was either under sealed court order or obtained via upstream hacking. Is your data on a Samsung device secure? As secure as any other mobile device but that's not saying much.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] hayabusa1300cc:
maybe Knox makes it more convenient, but honestly I think we're just as compromised with or without it.
